Question 149
Among five people, Rakesh is one and half times taller than Tarun, and Shyam is one and half times taller than Karan. If Pawan is half the height of Shyam and twice the height of Rakesh, who is the tallest of them all?
Solution
Let us denote people by the first letter of their names.
=> Let's say the height of T is 'x' => Height of R is 1.5x
=> Let's say height of K is 'y' => Height of S is 1.5y
Given that Pawan is half the height of Shyam and twice the height of Rakesh
=> 1.5y/2 = 3x => y = 4x
=> The heights of the people are R = 1.5x, T = x, S = 1.5y = 6x, K = 4x, P = 3x
=> S, i.e. Shyam is the tallest
=> Option-A
